The Korum Smokescreen Bolt Buffer Bead Kit is for anglers seeking advanced camouflage for their terminal tackle. It offers a streamlined way to create safe bolt rigs, primarily designed for use with inline feeders and leads as part of a shock-style system. A key benefit is its contribution to a safer rig presentation, while a potential consideration is its specific application within certain rig setups.

A bolt rig is a fishing rig where the lead or weight is designed to eject if a fish becomes snagged. This is crucial for fish safety, as it prevents them from being tethered by a heavy lead if the line breaks.
The 'Smokescreen' refers to Korum's proprietary camouflage technology, designed to mimic natural lakebed environments more effectively than standard camouflage patterns, thereby reducing the chance of fish detecting the tackle.
While designed for inline systems, the concept of a buffer bead can be adapted. However, its primary performance benefits are realized with inline feeders and leads.
The kit includes size 10 swivels, which are generally suitable for a wide range of coarse and carp fishing applications. Always ensure your entire rig, including line and hooklink, is appropriate for the size of fish you intend to catch.
Each pack contains eight Smokescreen Bolt Buffer Beads and eight size 10 swivels.
Yes, the buffer beads are reusable. It is recommended to clean them after each fishing session to maintain their smooth sliding action.
Ensure the bead is threaded onto the line correctly and that no debris is obstructing its movement. Check that the line or leader is not too thick for the bead's inner diameter.
Rinse the swivel in fresh water and dry thoroughly. If corrosion is visible or the swivel remains stiff, replace it with a new one.
Verify that the lead is indeed designed to be used in a bolt rig system and that the buffer bead is correctly positioned. Ensure the line is not caught on the lead or leader in a way that prevents ejection.
Setup: Thread the Smokescreen buffer bead onto your main line or leader before attaching your inline lead or feeder. Ensure the bead slides freely. Attach your hooklink to the swivel provided. The system is designed to allow the lead to eject if a fish becomes snagged, creating a safer rig.
Compatibility: This kit is primarily designed for use with inline leads and feeders. It is compatible with most standard main lines and leaders, provided they can pass through the buffer bead. The size 10 swivels are a common size for various coarse and carp fishing applications.
Care: After use, rinse the components in clean water to remove any dirt or debris. Store the beads and swivels in a cool, dry place, preferably in a tackle box or a small container to prevent loss. Inspect swivels for corrosion or damage before each use.
